The Lineup

At this time of year (May) in Florence, whenever you come upon a gelato shop you will almost certainly see this scene……..as soon as one customer emerges with that delicious guilty pleasure on a cone others will follow and before you know it there’s hardly any room left on the window ledge.  We all know from experience that this scene means summer is just around the corner…….and after a very rainy spring it can’t come too soon.  It is pretty special, one has to admit, to enjoy the creamy sweetness of your favorite flavour while watching the city turn golden as it recovers from the long spell between summers……
